Please do appreciate the title, I'm unreasonably proud of it fr xD

Went a tad more explicit than the others.. Just.. an itty bitty tippy tad.. 👀
Partially inspired by the song "ENEMIES" by Chris Grey, to those who may be interested 🔥

In the leak Lucien tells the IC to essentially kick rocks due to a situation entirely born of Azriel's recklessness. Rhys, Lucien, and the IC are all understandably furious with Azriel.

"You want someone to help you find proof of Koschei's schemes? Want a spy in the Autumn court? Go do it yourselves. I'm done." -Lucien

Wouldn't it be such karmic punishment for Azriel to be sent to the Autumn court as their new spy in place of Lucien? He's the best spy the night court has after all. I think it's such a delicious set up for him and Eris to be forced into interacting on a regular basis.

Also at the end of the leak, Azriel and Mor have a great set up for a reality check about Az looking in all the wrong places for love. What a perfect moment to reveal the blatant truth she's been keeping from him, her own sexuality and permanently ending his delusional idea that they are mates.

I really hope the leak isn't fake, because I honestly loved the tele-novela level of drama. About time the IC got called out on their BS, but it's too bad Lucien's heart and soul collapsing was collateral.

The new Bloomsbury post shows us new places on the Prythian map. The Autumn Court border has a new location called The Thorn-Wood 👀🍂

Didn't Eris leave Mor at the border in the woods? Can someone confirm which border it was? We have not yet gotten this name before, which means it will come up in either ACOSH or ACOFM, which has got to mean that we are finally getting the full truth of what happened in the woods at the border that day centuries ago! This means ERIS will tell us because duh. Maybe even from his POV? Will he finally share the truth with Azriel to whom he wants to explain himself? Will this happen if Azriel becomes the new Autumn spy/emissary and Eris catches him again? I doubt Sarah would bother to get into the details if the answer didn't affect the story at all. There has been so much build-up to it that I think it's safe to say we will find out, and that means the answer will be something dramatic, likely a twist. It's looking so promising I could cry.

The map also features the Forest House (which was there before). Will we finally get to learn its secrets too? It's about time.

I'm just going to block the whole thing in spoiler to be safe.

There's a few lines in the leaked pages that jumped out at me because a similar thing happens in Azriel's ACOSF bonus chapter.

"Rhys had arrived, Feyre in tow. Mor a step behind them, a flash of gold and color. Az couldn't bear to look at her."

"She's not his property,' Azriel snarled, shoving down the pain with centuries of training. Shoving back the shadows that now gathered, plied to reveal truths he couldn't bear to hear."

The "truths he couldn't bear to hear" could be his usual self-loathing, or they could be about Elain since she's the subject of the conversation, but they could also be about Mor since he is talking to her in this moment. I'm most interesting in the last option BECAUSE

"What if the Cauldron was wrong?' / Rhysand blinked. 'What of Mor, Az?' / Azriel ignored the question."

In the bonus chapter, Rhysand's first response when Azriel suggests a mistake in mating bonds is to ask about Mor. But SJM chooses not to reveal what Azriel thinks of Mor even though she has Rhys bring it up.

In the leaked pages, Azriel also pointedly avoids thinking about his true feelings for Mor (if I interpreted that line correctly). That's weird, right? We know he was/is in love with her. Why avoid writing about it in his POV? It's screaming classic SJM twist. The kind where the protagonist annoyingly keeps info from the reader in their own POV until the most dramatic time to reveal it.

I think Azriel believes Mor is his mate and that'll be revealed at the end of ACOSH.

Which is great news for Azris imho. One of my favorite Azris headcanons is that Azriel believes he is mates with Mor because he felt a pull the day she was abandoned by Eris in Autumn.

I don’t know what the stance on leaks is in this sub. But like… I need a safe place to have feelings about this (that isn’t an Elriel or Gwynriel sub) and also for someone to talk me down from my delusions

Tagged theories bc idk wtf

So- i deeply LOVE our nation and the fact that the number of fics under Azris tag on ao3 is huge (I'm an unpopular-ships shipper, it's big for me) BUT i am overwhelmed with looking for the good ones.

I need something with a heartbreak and/or yearning. Preferably with their bond snapping on just one end and somehow one of them ends up hurt.

I read one about Az torturing Eris (who knew about their bond) and then the bond snapped after everything he did to him and the pain and hurt were just so-🫠🫠

PLEASE give me your fav heartbreaking fics😭 Happy or sad ending- I don't mind

Will they be canon? Do you guys think she would write a book with a queer MC?

Are we seeing things? Has there been foreshadowing?

Sooo I finally got over my sickness enough to actually complete this!
Based on a prompt by u/greymoonmoth like.. 2 weeks ago.. xD

I did initially plan to set it in the Autumn forests at night, on either side of the same path but it just got too busy and took too much focus away from them, so they're officially banished to the Void xD

I just wanted to say this, so, nothing more. Sorry if I labeled it wrong but I couldn't see any label for rants more accurate than this one.

Anyway...I just wanted to say that the Azris community or part of the fandom is the only one in which I can feel peace, away from hate towards characters or just wars or ship wars

So, thank you all for being awesome in every single app in which I search for Azris content 🥹🫶🏻

I was relistening to ACOWAR, the High Lords' meeting in particular, and my oh my, how jolly delightful the strangling scene is. Side note, I love the dramatized adaption and especially Eris. That little noise he makes when Az tackles him 🤌 (in case you wanna hear it for yourself and have Spotify Premium, it's acowar 2/3, end of chapter 5, 1h06min in)

To my point: I had completely forgotten how moody and weirdly quiet Azriel gets afterwards. Rhys, Feyre, Cass and Mor all notice it. It's very out of character for him, despite his quiet nature. Violence and torture are Azriel's second nature/job, it's nothing new. He hates Eris. Why was he so dramatically upset afterwards?

Azriel stared at the floor, stone-faced. “Sorry.” The word was emotionless—distant. He had not spoken, had barely moved, since his savage attack.

But I looked to Azriel, currently leaning against the wall beside the floor-to-ceiling window, shadows fluttering around him. Even the birds in their cages nearby remained silent. I said down the bond, "Is he all right?" Rhys tucked his hands behind his head, though his mouth tightened. "Likely not, but if we try to talk to him about it, it'll only make it worse."

Then Helion (I accidentally wrote Beron and almost hit post before proofreading one more time LOL) tells Az about his new fantasy, and this is how he reacts: Azriel didn’t so much as bother to look over his shoulder at the High Lord.

Later that evening, when everyone else is mingling: Azriel barely spoke, those shadows still perched on his shoulders. Az then disappears into the night without another word.

Rhys and Feyre discuss Mor and Az. Rhys tells us that Mor is spooked by Azriel's violence, and the violence is a result of his feelings towards Mor and the lingering guilt of his deal with Eris and the unspoken confessions (with Mor). But this is only Rhysand's assumption. He says it himself that he won't bother asking. However, it does not make sense. Even before I shipped Azris, this part never made sense to me and I just made myself forget about it because I couldn't crack it. Back then I just assumed we'd get some light shed on the Az x Mor romance later on, but now we know they will never happen. The common link between them? Eris.

WHY was Azriel so shaken after attacking Eris? Surely he thinks Eris deserved it. Strangling him is nothing compared to the torture he puts his enemies through. No one even scolded him about it. Mor was shaken too, and I believe she was in a bit of a shock over the violence. But her reaction does not warrant Azriel's. He should not be shaken by violence. We are completely lacking a motive here.

And then of course, there is the familiar question of why Eris didn't even try to fight back. Why he allowed himself to be humbled, and even apologized. Why he, upon his departure, looked conflicted, "as if this was not the outcome he had planned for. Expected." It would have made more sense for Eris to just sneer and hold his head high as if he didn't care. But he was shaken too.

I know it's a popular Azris theory that Eris knows about his mate and this is why he didn't fight back. We also think that Az doesn't know. There was nothing stopping him from trying. Maybe his odd reaction afterwards was because something in him felt bad, felt out of place, and he was confused and spooked by it. I believe this was the first time Azriel ever laid his hands on Eris, because even in that scene earlier on the ice it was only Cassian who fought Eris. And when Eris got impaled by a sword, Feyre noticed how Azriel's eyes held "such pain". It's easy to dismiss it because he is always an angsty bean, but what other pain was he carrying besides his own general crisis of existence? Guys, he felt the pain of his mate.

Lastly, unrelated, but whoever it was who posted a theory about The Little Mermaid with Azris connections earlier this week, why did you delete it?😭 It was brilliant! Not only do the names match (Ariel&Eric / Azriel&Eris, albeit their roles were reversed), but there was so much cool symbolism in it and Sarah has said she would like to incorporate that story. I get notifications of the posts on this channel and more than once I've clicked at something excitedly, only for the posting redditor having had deleted it already 🥺

Also, fingers crossed we get an Eris quote from BB today😭🤞 I know the chances are slim but it's my name day and I want it 🥹 It's also fire prevention day in the US I believe, and wouldn't that just be funny.

Saw this on Pinterest and thought I’d share here bc it’s giving serious Azris vibes. Sorry but there was no artist credited so I don’t know! But the pin acct was @jeff4265 maybe it’s theirs

I just love this ship 😭

I hope it's okay to share this person's instagram here, but she's a public bookish content creator so I think it's okay? Please correct me if I need to edit the name out, but I also didn't wanna not credit her video, so: just.a.little.book.dragon 's latest video (posted 2 days ago) shows her Amazon homepage categorizing ACOSH as lgbtq+. She swears it's legit, and I believe her, but then again there is always a chance the tag is misleading, but I really don't think so? I'm sure we won't dive into Mor's love story (or Thesan's for that matter) in this short book, but we KNOW we are getting Az's pov. Guys, if we're getting queerbaited by Amazon I will be livid.

But we. just. keep. getting. these. wins. and I can't stop the damn butterflies

New teaser quote released by Bloomsbury this morning.

"Was it possible for mates to... un-mate? For that bond to fracture deeply enough that there was no repairing it?"

Ended up doing something real soft and cute after all..
Wanted to do something of them sleeping by the fire, and figured moonlight on the other side would be a good contrast and play into the themes of flame and shadow for 'em c:

I did initially want to also curve Az' wing over them, but the wing would either take up too much, or be in an awkward position that just looked uncomfortable, so decided against it - they're just splayed out behind him now xD As much as I love Illyrians using their wings as blankets and protection for their loved ones, it just would not work in this ;v;

Also wasn't sure if this should be under NSFW, since.. It's not showing anything, but they are technically nude - even if it's not meant as a sexual kind of nudity.. Soo put it under NSFW, just to be safe c:

About two years ago, maybe a little bit less I saw a phenomenal argument for Azris with these beautiful slides, and one of them included the analysis of color usage in the partnership.

The use of blue siphons to blue jackets is the one I most remember.

So I wanted to come to the experts…Does anyone know what I’m talking about?

That's it. I just needed to get it off my chest. I know it's a pointless post but I'm not active on other social media platforms and none of my friends read the series. But C'MON who else fits today better than him?😩 I neeeeeeed Eris crumbs. They already posted Lucien so I doubt they'll post him again. I hope Bloomsbury feels my desperation in their bones and does us a solid or I'll become a witch, learn spells and curse someone.

EDIT // Bloomsbury can go throw themselves into the suffocating depths of the Cauldron

Hello Azris Truthers!😊

Just wanted to say congrats on some juicy new details from the Az pov ACOSH audiobook sample that could very much be giving Azris vibes 🥳

Az's body craving warmth, the canine howling, the hunt, a glimmer of fire in the cave and Az's shadows telling him there's no path that doesnt involve contact with it.....I know someone who could fit perfectly into all those aspects👀

At the VERY least it provides some more great cannon foundation to run with in fanfic!!!

It's looking promising for us. I'm trying not to die of a heart attack.

A few blurbs that specifically caught my eye, (sorry for any typos I just swiftly copied them):

"He’d expected soldiers, assassins, slinking spies. Not the howls on the wind. Not the snarls, the baying, the canine keening."

And:

"There. Far above. A faint glimmer of fire spilling onto the cliffside, then vanishing. Someone had entered the cave. The howling continued. Az’s shadows whispered, swift and breathless, They prowl around the cave mouth. They block every pass. They ride the stormwinds. There is no path to the cave that does not involve contact with them. But he needed to get closer. Needed to see if whoever walked out of that cave possessed the object they’d sought."

My guess:

It's the smokehounds!! Howls, snarls, BAYING, canine keening? And Eris' fire. The hounds following where he goes. Eris has gone investigating and Azriel is about to have to do some teamwork when he finds him! GUYS THIS IS PLAYING STRAIGHT INTO OUR BAG SOMEONE SEDATE ME

Like the title says, I’m looking for a beta reader for my first ever fic. I’m still pretty early on (only have the first chapter) but I’m not sure how to go about this all lol. If anyone has any advice or suggestions let me know. Thank you and hopefully this isn’t too out of place

I've been looking for a book, I don't know if it exists. It's more a concept. It qould be acotar, but if Eris and Azriel were the mc's. So a BL, anyone have any recs for other series, or fics? I've gone through a ton of the ones on Ao3, and am sort of running out. But I'm more looking for an actual series.

Hello everybody!

Im pretty much new in Azris ship world and theories and I have a question...

Do you think it is even possible? Like, SJM would do that? How do you deal with the angst that this perfect ship has high chances of not happening? 😭😭😭😭😭

I read a fantastic fic today, “Confessions of a Rotten Heir” where every time the Azris bond snaps for Az, Rhys erases that memory from him. I thought this was SUCH a great idea and now I’m craving more of that plot point. Would love any recommendations!
